Re: The Official Scottish Rugby Thread
Actually mean to say, it was a bit odd at the end in the stadium. You couldn’t really pick out what was being shown on the big screen so lots of pantomime ooo’ing and ahh’ing but no one seemed to really know what was going on. After the whistle there was just a resigned sign, no real anger or frust...

Re: Scotland France for the lazy buggers
What I find hardest to accept was that I think they both clearly said the ball was on the ground. Maybe it’s my imagination and I’ll have to listen back but I’m sure they both said it.

Re: Official Wales v Scotland thread
Wow. Russell, our captain, admitting that they thought the game was won at 27-0, can Scotland get any more amateur hour?
